Safety Maintenance Schedule" on the inside of the
glove box door as illustrated.
The schedule lists the various safety checks to be
performed at regularly scheduled intervals, as well
as some of the other important vehicle maintenance
requirements. You are urged to check off each item
on the schedule after the operation has been per-
formed. Following are further details on the safety
check items:
Checks To Be Made At Oil Change Intervals
(4 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes
first)
• Brake Lines and Hoses - Check for proper at-
tachments, leaks, cracks, chafing, deterioration,
etc. Any questionable parts noted should be re-
placed or repaired immediately.
• Fluid Levels-Check level of fluid in brake master
cylinder, power steering pump, radiator, engine,
axle and transmission. Any significant loss could
mean that a malfunction is developing in the sys-
tem and corrective action should be taken imme-
diately. On cars with disc brakes, a low fluid level
in the front brake master cylinder reservoir could
34
also be an indicator that disc brake pads need
replacing.
• Front and Rear Suspension and Steering Sys-
tem-Check for damaged or missing parts, or parts
showing visible signs of excessive wear or lack of
lubrication. Questionable parts should be replaced
by a qualified mechanic without delay.
• Exhaust System -
Check complete exhaust sys-
tem and nearby body areas and trunk lid for
broken, damaged, missing or mispositioned parts,
open seams, holes, loose connections or other de-
terioration which could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the trunk or passenger compartment. Any
defects should be corrected immediately. To help
insure continued integrity, exhaust system pipes
rearward of the muffler must be replaced whenever
a new muffler is installed.
• Tires and Wheels - Check tires for excessive
wear, nails, cuts or other damage. Make certain
wheels are not bent
~nd
wheel nuts are tight. Un-
even or abnormal tire wear may indicate the need
for alignment service. Check tire inflation pressure
at least monthly, or more often if daily visual
inspection indicates the need.
